John McCain: The Devil You Don't Know

Paul Jenkins | Posted 06.09.2008 | Politics


Paul Jenkins

McCain's political positions are what remain utterly confusing -- it's hard to think of another veteran politician whose political philosophy is as murky as his.

John McCain is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't accept endorsements from popular leaders of the Christian Right, many of whom have taken con...

McCain's Reverends Right: His Faustian Bargain with Radical Christianity

Shaun Jacob Halper | Posted 05.04.2008 | Politics


Shaun Jacob Halper

McCain has allied with three of its most bigoted and hateful "spiritual" personalities: John Hagee, Rod Parsley, and (before his death) Jerry Falwell.

Obama & McCain: Delusional Spiritual Ally Test

Chris McGowan | Posted 05.01.2008 | Politics


Chris McGowan

What if we were to disqualify all candidates with ties to delusional religious folks? A politician should not be held accountable for the views of every author he has read or every preacher he has heard.

McCain and the Jesus Thieves

Robert S. McElvaine | Posted 04.27.2008 | Politics


Robert S. McElvaine

John Hagee is just one of the many televangelists, hypocrites, imposters, snake-oil salesmen, and just plain snakes of the Irreligious Wrong with whom McCain has climbed into bed.

Blab It, Grab It: Why Evangelicals are Finally as Mad as Hell

Karen Dalton-Beninato | Posted 03.25.2008 | Home


Karen Dalton-Beninato

McCain is walking into the buzzsaw of denouncing the evangelical community again. Walking away this time is going to be more difficult than he anticipates.

Don't Expect an Unkind Word from McCain About His Pastor

Earl Ofari Hutchinson | Posted 03.24.2008 | Politics


Earl Ofari Hutchinson

Jeremiah Wright may have been a liability for Obama, but Dan Yeary is certainly not one for McCain. Don't expect an unkind word here from McCain about his pastor.

Religious Bigotry Across the Board

Catherine Crier

The expectation that politicians will excise everyone that offends and must ignore any good by these people for the moments of bad is asking more than most mortals would do.

Leading "Christians" Have Crucified Jesus The Real Jesus Should Be Resurrected This Easter

Robert S. McElvaine | Posted 03.20.2008 | Living


Robert S. McElvaine

The Christian Holy Week provides an opportune moment for looking at how the names "Christianity" and "Jesus" have been stolen by people who preach and do the opposite of what Jesus taught.

If it's not racism that's causing the disparity in media treatment of these preachers, then what is it?

McCain's Church Hates America, Clinton's Friends Do Too -- But Let's Get the Black Guy (Or Not?)

Frank Schaeffer | Posted 03.18.2008 | Politics


Frank Schaeffer

If the Clintons were authentic progressives or even ordinary decent Americans, they would have led a furious defense of Obama and his pastor by putting things in perspective.

"And to the republic, for which it stands,one nation, oh-my-God!..."

Linda Hansen

While a few eyebrows have been raised at the endorsements of Hagee and Parsley, there's been no public outcry. But when Barack Obama's pastor, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, dares speak ill of the United States all holy hell breaks loose.

John McCain's "Character" and "Integrity"

Joseph A. Palermo | Posted 02.14.2008 | Politics


Joseph A. Palermo

The swiftboating of John Kerry was an insult to every veteran who earned a medal while risking his life in Vietnam. But John McCain was too busy hugging George W. Bush to make an issue out of it.

Chris McGowan | Posted 02.13.2008 | Politics


Chris McGowan

McCain will have to get right with God, and by that I don't mean the more tolerant, less politically involved deity of Catholics and mainline Protestants. I am referring to the God of Pat Robertson.

The Times, They Are A-Changin'?

William Fisher | Posted 01.14.2008 | Politics


William Fisher

Given the Jerry Falwell-Pat Robertson-James Dobson history of religion in politics, the idea of an Evangelical Democrat may well seem counter-intuitive.

Younger evangelicals may not necessarily vote Democratic, but they certainly are no longer safely in the pocket of the Republican Party.
